Edwin Díaz Unsure of Mets Future: ‘We Haven’t Talked About a Deal’
Edwin Díaz seeks the best contract for his family while weighing a 50-50 chance of returning to the Mets as a top free-agent reliever, noted for a 1.63 ERA last season.
- On the MLB Awards red carpet in Las Vegas, Edwin Díaz said his chances of returning to the New York Mets are 50-50 while testing free agency.
- Having opted out, Díaz said his priority is to `Just get the best deal for my family` and that he still loves New York, but is open to other teams.
- This season, Díaz recorded a 1.63 ERA with a 0.874 WHIP over 62 games and saved 28 games, cementing his status as the top reliever on the market.
- The Mets face a payroll decision as they weigh paying a reliever entering his age-32 season, with losing Díaz risking catastrophe for the Mets' bullpen and postseason hopes next year.
- With the offseason underway and qualifying-offer timeline, other teams including the Toronto Blue Jays have met with Díaz's representatives while decisions on qualifying offers aren't due until Nov. 18.
